Manipur’s nod to Tipaimukh protested
Fri February 5, 2010 - 1:03am BdSTThe reported recent move of Manipur Chief Minister Ibobi Singh convening a meeting with all stake-holder companies on February 4 February to start work on the controversial Tipaimukh dam is decried. The Committee on Land & Natural Resources (COLNAR) yesterday denounced the Manipur government's move saying that the government is taking the action without considering the people's long-standing concerns and apprehensions. In a statement, the committee reiterated the call for total scrapping of the Tipaimukh Mega Dam Project.
